100th Day Celebration

3-2-1 HOORAY! Hooray for the 100th Day !!! We started our day by sorting and counting our collection in the most efficient way.  We then did a gallery walk to see and discuss how our friends had decided to count their collection.  

Bringing Music To Life!

Bringing Music To Life!

We have been really busy learning about music.  We talked about different beats, rhythms,  tempo and dynamics.  We learned about some amazing composers such as, Camille Saint-Saens who composed "Carnival of the Animals", Beethoven, Vivaldi and Mozart.  We got to compose our very own music and perform for our friends.  Yesterday, we got to use all different kinds of music instruments to act out the book "Mmm Cookies" by Robert Munsch. I was happy to use instruments.(Chase) We were excited. (Kaitie) I got to play the triangle. (Yoel) I was excited to use a tambourine and a paint brush to spread the icing on the cookie. (Avery) We all had a lot of fun.  Stay tune for one of our performance. 

Warrior

Meet Warrior

Here is the new addition to our classroom. We decided to call him Warrior. We spent sometime researching Betta fish and found out that they don't like other fish. They are fighters, they breath under water, they like to eat protein pellets.  

We conducted a survey to help us decide his name. Then we created a bar graph.  It was no contest. Warrior was the winning name. 

Iam happy to have Warrior in my class. (Christian), We were really excited!(Avery),  We will take care of Warrior.(Kaitie), He likes his new bowl. (Gabe)  Thanks to everyone!

Happy New Year!

Classroom Door

Today we decorated are door for the door decorating contest. We decided to use 2D shapes since that's what we are learning about in math. The Christmas tree is made of triangles, the ornaments are made of circles and the presents are made of squares and rectangles.  Some friends attempted to make boxes.  They watched video to help them.  We worked very hard and we had fun!
